Morning all, what a quick week it has been.

Artydoll hope your op went well and you are taking it nice and easy xx

Flourgirl, happy belated birthday xx

Hope anyone going to the NEC has a fabulous time.

I have lots of cards to make and should be doing it instead of being here lol, between craft fairs, Hobbycraft vouchers and FB craft groups I may have to sell my soul to the devil...though I am too late for that in reality lol.

Have a good weekend

Well it was a long day out yesterday to get to the NEC but I got the gold and silver metallic promarkers and the fineline nibs I wanted for them. Prices did vary a lot from stall to stall but I think I got the best price that was there? £1.99 for the pens and £2.45 for 5 nibs.

Then I bought some lovely things to alter from the MDF man. A 12x12 piece of board for £2, a Wooden scrapbook £5, and two words - NOEL and HOME arranged in a square about 12 x 12 which were £4 each. I'd have bought more to make for pressies for next year but don't have the money. He had loads of lovely stuff including some great trays and money boxes.

On the Everythings a Pound stall, I got 7 different pads of paper, two sets of stamps, some brads, chipboard and mini butons. 12 items for £10.

Then I did three free workshops and made a handbag charm, a phone charm and a little cover for a mini box of after eights.

Can't see myself going again for some time to come as simply don't have the money so made the most of what was a really nice day out.

Anyone got recommendations for high street shops that sell decent, cheap craft stuff? Especially papers.

It kinda depends on where you live - I have a quite a few good local ones but they're not nation wide

A site I use is giving away a free digital paper pad when you like their facebook page. They are normally £1.
